A New Entry For a New Era

For 48 years Cathedral of Hope United Church of Christ has been sanctuary for those seeking love, hope and reassurance in the midst of a world too often filled with persecution, prejudice and judgement. As our congregation has grown, the safety of our members has been of paramount concern. We remember incidents in our past when our congregation’s very existence was threatened by outside groups and individuals.

The entrances to our property were intentionally discreet, in part, because we wanted our facilities to remain safe.

However, we are now entering a new time – a new era. We have a bold new mission to reclaim Christianity as a faith of extravagant grace, radical inclusion and relentless compassion. We are proud to be a people of hope -- proclaiming God’s inclusive love, removing barriers to faith and empowering all to grow in grace toward wholeness.

It's Time to Build a New Entry for a New Era

Our Master Plan

In 2013, the Building and Grounds Committee began the task of prioritizing campus planning and infrastructure needs. They determined there was a great need to make sure we had a clear entrance to our church for everyone seeking a place of Hope.

In 2015, that vision transformed, calling on us to create a campus that was also a destination of Purpose, where, from the moment one enters the campus, they find an idyllic and serene setting - one that is a tangible reflection of beauty and peace in natural and holistic spaces.

Now in 2018, we are excited to break ground on the first phase of our Master Plan, the Entryway and Monument Project. Named the Trost Monument on Covington Way, our new monument and entryway from Cedar Springs will lead members, visitors and newcomers alike into our Hope-filled and Hope-full Campus.

During 2018, we will also be undertaking a redesign of our front plaza, beginning the process of connecting our two spiritual centers with a direct path from the main building to the Interfaith Peace Chapel.

Trost Monument on Covington Way

This first phase of the project will include a stunning monument with Cathedral of Hope’s name, which will be located along Cedar Springs. It will be called the Trost Monument, to memorialize the late Robert Trost, who provided a sizable gift to launch this phase of the project.

We will pave a driveway leading from Cedar Springs to Nash Street. The Entryway will be called Covington Way, in memory of Lee Covington, a former member of Cathedral of Hope’s staff and Executive Assistant to three of our Senior Pastors. Covington died tragically in 2017. It was his life’s dream to see this project completed.

Plaza Redesign and Entryway

The plaza area in front of the church will be expanded and redesigned to connect the main church building with the Interfaith Peace Chapel. This area will be covered in bricks and is necessary in order to accommodate new facilities security improvements planned for in our recently received Homeland Security Grant.

Fundraising Goal: $30,000

While the Entryway and Plaza Redesign are the top priorities for this 2018 Project, we will also aim to complete the paving of the remainder of the drive from Nash Street behind the Interfaith Peace Chapel to the concrete parking lot the church owns, known as the “Ford” parking area. This driveway will help to create a scenic and inspiring welcome into our beautiful campus.

Join us for our ground breaking!

On Saturday, February 17 at 3pm, Cathedral of Hope United Church of Christ will break ground on its new entryway, the first phase of its multi-phase Master Plan. This new entryway, named the Trost Monument on Covington Way to honor Cathedral of Hope members and benefactors Robert Trost and Lee Covington, will provide a clear entry point for church members, visitors and the wider community who come to Cathedral of Hope seeking a place of extravagant grace, radical inclusion and relentless compassion.

The multi-phase master plan seeks to transform Cathedral of Hope's current campus into one that reflects the church's mission of bringing hope and purpose to the world.

Church and community members, visitors, and the public are invited to join Cathedral of Hope for the celebratory ground breaking ceremony at 5910 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas TX 75235 at 3pm on Saturday, February 17.

Memorial Bricks

A variety of pavement surfaces are part of the overall New Entry for a New Era project. Opportunities to purchase personalized bricks (4" x 8") will be available to Cathedral of Hope members and friends, and these will be incorporated in the Plaza area in front of the church.

Bricks may be dedicated to the memory or honor of someone you love or admire, in celebration of a milestone event, or for the greater glory of God. They may be purchased by individuals, families, or groups of friends.

Two price levels are available$160 for bricks placed within 99 feet of the Bell Wall.$90 for bricks placed further than 100 feet from the Bell Wall.
